The Same

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, shit's goin' down in Oakland, California, bitch It ain't cool at all, yeah [Verse 1] Shit's always the same, I'm rollin' in the hood by the dope spot Every corner I see somebody sellin' rocks Another nigga handing crack to us blacks Yeah, they gettin' they money on by settin' us back Full-time dope dealer, the dope fiend's hero Everywhere he go, his boys go And you know it's gonna be some shit 'Cause his ego's so big that you know he's gonna start it Can't go into a club and act right Without ready to start a motherfuckin' fight I guess money makes a nigga Or maybe 'cause he always has his hand on a steel trigger There goes his fuckin' tag-along Tryna be hard, but gettin' played like a deck of cards Callin' women bitches everywhere they go A street nigga's mentality brings reality To the ones that was sheltered and pampered And to the nerds that was always campers Life's a bitch and it's never gonna switch, mayne Yeah, shit will always be the same [Chorus] "Nothing's changed" "The same, the same" "Nothing's changed" "Ain't a damn thing changed" [Verse 2] You know that nigga's the shit 'Cause he's downin' the 40 down his fuckin' throat And his eyes are turnin' red from the dank smoke A vision of my inner-city stereotype We want respect, but our brothers ain't livin' right Don't want a job 'cause your brother grind 9-to-5 But how long can that black nigga survive? You ask me, he's a livin' dead man Walkin' through the streets with a gat in his pants Duckin' and dodgin' every time he sees a cop car You think you're hidin', but the cops know who you are You can't grind your way out the ghetto 'Cause every time you try, your greedy ass want a little bit more How the fuck ya livin'? Day by day, ready to die by the AK This ain't a dream, but a nightmare comin' true Young youths are dyin' before they reach 22 This is a quote by the KKK Keep killin' your race puts a smile on our face You better believe those hooded bitches are laughin', mayne Ain't this a bitch? 'Cause shit is still the same [Chorus] "Nothing's changed" "The same, the same" "Nothing's changed" "Ain't a damn thing changed" [Verse 3] Livin' just to sleep with my gun 'cause I refuse to run From my hood just because the niggas are no good It's an everyday struggle where I'm livin' at Older people always ask me why I pack a gat 'Cause society has changed from the old days Like MetLife, you know my .45 pays So run up, can be fatal to a nigga's health Beware of owner or else find yourself dead 'Cause I keep to myself and mind my own biz But I know what goes on around my home 'Cause it's put in my face every fuckin' day I wish niggas learn to live another fuckin' way But it won't happen soon in this lifespan Let's get ready for the end of a Black man Laugh, bitch, but it's true and they can prove it Black-on-black crime, HIV is doin' it Give you an inch and take a mile, ho 'Cause that's the only way you choose to make it through the door You only got a short time to play your fuckin' games Then I'm a get, nigga, then it won't be the same [Chorus] "Nothing's changed" "The same, the same" "Nothing's changed" "Ain't a damn thing changed" "Nothing's changed" "The same, the same" "Nothing's changed" "Ain't a damn thing changed" "Nothing's changed" "The same, the same" "Nothing's changed" "Ain't a damn thing changed"
